Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 1, 2024

One Identity Manager and ForgeRock are two prominent products competing in the identity and access management category. Based on feature richness, customization, and flexibility, One Identity Manager appears to have an upper hand. However, ForgeRock stands out in security and seamless third-party integration, making it a preferred choice for organizations prioritizing these aspects.

Features: One Identity Manager is renowned for its robust logical schema naming, flexible reporting, and extensive customization abilities, offering a clean graphical user interface and easy configuration. It includes strong out-of-the-box connectors for platforms like SAP, LDAP, and MS Active Directory. Conversely, ForgeRock excels in comprehensive security features, intelligent authentication, and easy adaptation to multiple environments. Its integration capabilities with third-party applications ensure consistent operations.

Room for Improvement: One Identity Manager is criticized for complex synchronization, inadequate documentation, and challenging UI navigability. There are reported issues with configuration, cloud integration, and job server efficiency. ForgeRock faces challenges with its customization complexity and occasional instability due to its open-source background. It could benefit from enhancements in UI responsiveness and biometric and KYC integration.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: One Identity Manager supports on-premises, public, and hybrid cloud deployments, providing flexibility. It receives praise for comprehensive support, primarily through partners, although response times can be inconsistent. ForgeRock features simpler deployments across various environments compared to One Identity Manager, with a focus on direct and agile technical support.

Pricing and ROI: One Identity Manager is noted for competitive pricing and ROI improvements through automation and provisioning efficiencies, seen as cost-effective compared to solutions like SailPoint. ForgeRock offers value but is perceived as costly, despite having a free open-source version available. Both products deliver ROI by enhancing productivity and streamlining processes, with One Identity Manager often preferred for its attractive pricing model in enterprise settings.

Which one is best: Quest One Identity Manager or Forgerock Identity Management

While I can't comment on Forgerock Identity Management, I can still share my two cents on 1IM based on my experience with it for the past few years: 1. Configurations - Mostly wizard based configurations, so it's not to complex in that sense. Configuration options are also plenty. Good out of box connector support for AD, SAP, LDAP etc. 2. Customization - Process orchestration is fairly flexible and allows for creation of custom processes that can invoke various actions. Scripts written within 1IM are in VB.NET. 3. Support - Average support experience so far. In some cases, we get prompt and thorough responses with good follow ups, whereas, sometimes the experience is quite the opposite. Some escalation engineers are very knowledgeable and it can be a really great experience troubleshooting with them. 4. Client implementations - Till now, I have been involved in 3-4 implementations. All of them had varying levels of complexity. While the product allows for a lot of customizations, from personal experience, I would say that it is always a better practice to promote out of box functionalities first even if they require some process changes. Customizations can often get out of hand very quickly and with constant revisions/upgrades happening to the tool, it may be so that customizations don't migrate that well when upgrading. Like the v6 to v7 was a major product upgrade and a lot of v6 customizations did not port over as expected. Apart from that, I also have a few very specific complaints with the product: - The DB queue behaves very inconsistently. Recently that caused a lot of grief in one of the implementations we were doing. The DB queue just gets stuck and doesn't process tasks and it has to be "pushed" manually. This happened in the Development environment so it wasn't the end of the world for us, but it was a major inconvenience nevertheless. - v7 introduced the concept of Extensions on the Web designer (it allowed for re-usability of certain elements within a module/component without the need of copying entire module/component). While I appreciated the idea at first, in practice it did not perform that well. It may just be me, but it was just a convoluted implementation which made the already cumbersome Web designer tool even more confusing. - Database Transporter issues - Transporting changes across environments can cause problems. Using change labels can sometimes lead to errors and can be a bit frustrating. As a practice, it's better to document changes stored within labels from the very beginning and store all transport files in a shared folder for hassle free migrations. Different kind of changes done (Designer changes, WebDesigner Changes, Sync Editor changes, Schema changes etc) all have different best practices and ways of transporting and it's better to know about that from the beginning. - Synchronization editor issues - v7 introduced the Sync. editor which is a great tool no doubt, but it doesn't feel robust. I have faced several issues using CSV connectors. Changes made to the schema of the CSV are often not synced up to 1IM even after "Updating Schema" on 1IM end. This can cause the definition of the connector to remain outdated. In some cases, I had to reconfigure the connector from scratch, which in itself is pretty easy to do but it can certainly cause inconvenience. - Cache issues - Like many tools, 1IM also caches a lot of information and makes use of that for faster processing. While that is okay most of the times, it can be very irritating when the tools keep using cached information even after changes have been made, committed and compiled. Often times, a manual cache deletion becomes necessary, otherwise the changes are never actually "picked" up by 1IM. Having said that, I still feel the tool is great and is certainly working towards great innovations in the IDM sphere. The GUI is very clean and informative and gives a great visual representation of objects, especially the 360-degree person view which shows person object connected to roles, departments/locations/cost centers, any connector accounts, any compliance violations etc. The tool offers some good reporting capabilities out of the box. A nice IT shop structure with a shopping cart based request/order flow. Robust out of box connectors for AD and SAP that are quite easy to set up. In all of the implementations, there have rarely been any cases where there was a requirement that 1IM couldn't implement.

The interface is easy to use and gives you a solid overview

The cloud-based deployment was straightforward, but the on-prem deployment was in a highly complex ecosystem. Omada has matured since then. I wouldn't say that it isn't straightforward, but it depends on the customer. A standard deployment is relatively easy, but it can be more painful if you need a lot of customization. We deployed the cloud solution in around four months, nearly meeting the 12-week benchmark. The on-prem deployment took three years. It was a highly complex ecosystem that was dependent on other systems. Depending on the size of your environment, you need a product owner and some specialists for maintenance. My last customer was a university with a complex environment. They had around 12 people involved in maintenance at that organization. Typically, it's between 2-5 people.

Easy to use, but customizations can be complicated to handle

I would suggest others use the product after asking them to consider their use cases. SSO may be a use case for some, and using the product as an IDM tool may be a use case. At the moment, my company is not deploying all the components of ForgeRock itself. My company uses ForgeRock for OAuth 2.0. For example, my company is not deploying the IDM and identity gateway components. You should consider your use case and select the required components for that use case. My company does not use the SSO features of the tool. My company uses SSO to access ForgeRock's AM Console for individual users. My company does not use single sign on features of the product and instead, we use Auth0. I rate the tool a seven or eight out of ten.

Back End Developer at DC Smarter

Makes identity management more robust with the new portal, but needs faster processing and better support

For basic tasks, it's acceptable, but when there are complexities and building on those complexities, it becomes slow because One Identity Manager doesn't do parallel processing; it processes in series and in batches. That's a drawback because with a heavy database and many processes, it becomes slow, which isn't ideal for user experience. There are many areas in One Identity Manager that have room for improvement. I don't prefer that One Identity Manager uses series processing where everything is in a queue; it has to process in order, which means there are too many layers involved in processing a single piece of information. If they could simplify that and make processing faster, it would be perfect. The database queue process doesn't make sense, and it's annoying waiting for processes to finish before another starts. Also, when upgrading, they should be more considerate; with the transition from One Identity Manager 7.0 to 8.2, many functions were phased out, requiring extensive upgrading of numerous scripts. I find it pretty difficult to customize the solution because you really need to be an expert. If you have about one year of experience, you can't do much with One Identity Manager. You need many years of experience to customize solutions effectively.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The benefits of Omada Identity include a holistic way of viewing access, the ability to give people access, and automation."

"You can make resources. You can import them from Azure or Active Directory and put them in an application. For example, if there is an application that uses a lot of Active Directory groups, you can make the groups available for people. If they need to access that application, you can tell them the resource groups you have for that application. People can do everything by themselves. They do not need anybody else. They can just go to the Omada portal, and they can do it all by themselves. That is terrific."

"The support response time and the freedom from strange bugs and strange things happening in the software are valuable."

"The support for the validity of the resources is valuable. The tool allows resource assignments within a validity period so that the managers do not have to remember to revoke the access once the work is done."

"Its best feature is definitely the process design. It is quite easy and straightforward to design a process."

"The best feature in Omada Identity is that it enables us to implement standardized employee life cycle processes so that we don't have to create them ourselves. We can then use the standard workflows. The breadth and scope of the solution’s IGA features also fulfill our requirements."

"It has a very user-friendly interface compared to what we are used to, and it is highly configurable. In the old solution, when we needed to do something, we had to have a programmer sitting next to us, whereas, in Omada Identity, everything is configurable."

"The thing that I find most valuable is that Omada consists of building blocks, which means that you can configure almost anything you want without using custom code, making it pretty easy to do. It's possible to connect to multiple target systems and to create one role that consists of different permissions in the different target systems. So one role in Omada can make sure that you have an account in three different systems."

More Omada Identity pros

"I like the intelligent authentication feature."

"In terms of the tool's operational efficiency, ForgeRock Access Management is used in a lot of environments, different regions, and in different stages of production environments."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the authentication for the consumers. The integration with other third-party applications is excellent."

"ForgeRock products are customizable, and the out-of-the-box features are solid, too. I primarily use the OIDC compliance features. It's just a configuration. it's easy to set up and customize trees. We can add our own features if necessary. Banks and corporations have different standards and specific validations."

"The solution integrates well and it is important for them to keep up with the current trends in the market quickly enough, and they have been doing a good job at it."

"Installation and configuration are pretty easy for ForgeRock OpenIDM."

"Easy to customize and adaptable to any environment."

"This is a stable solution. When you do experience any issues, you will see it in your DB logs or audit logs so you can easily reach a conclusion of might be causing it."

More ForgeRock pros

"The policy and role management features are superb. If you have a customer who is willing to go somewhere with role management, then the possibilities are endless with the product. It is well-structured, and the architecture is well-defined."

"One Identity Manager's most valuable asset is the ability to customize its front-end website."

"One Identity is simple to implement. About 90 percent of the implementation is configuration rather than scripting and creating the connectors."

"One Identity Manager requires no maintenance; once deployed, it can be used for any required purpose and then closed."

"One Identity Manager simplifies user operations and provides security features, including automatic blocking of inactive accounts and timely access revocation."

"In One Identity Manager, I appreciate the Synchronization Editor for onboarding different target system applications."

"The Data Importer is a great tool to create an ETL. It generates code which is easy to maintain later without the tool."

"The most valuable features are centralized Identity Management, robust Access Governance, and One Identity Manager workflow automation."

More One Identity Manager pros

Cons

"The account management integration isn't bad, but it isn't plug-and-play like Microsoft Azure. You need some deep development knowledge to set up the connectors."

"The current reporting tools in Omada are limited, but we expect significant improvements in the new version."

"The user interface could be improved. The interface between Omada and the user is mainly text-based."

"The biggest issue, which is the reason why we are transitioning from their product to SailPoint, is the overall user experience. From a technical perspective, it is a very good product, but from an end-user experience perspective, it significantly lacks."

"When making a process, you should be able to use some coding to do some advanced calculations. The calculations you can currently do are too basic. I would also like some additional script features."

"I would like more training. As someone who is new to this world, I don't feel that the courses Omada provides are good enough. They should also improve the documentation. It is difficult to learn how to use the solution by yourself"

"They need to improve the cost for small companies."

"The reporting on the warehouse data and the import process both have room for improvement."

More Omada Identity cons

"We're worried about the scaling. We're told it will be okay and there won't be issues, however, I'm not 100% convinced."

"I don't think ForgeRock directly supports integrations with Slack, making it an area where improvements are required."

"Lacks simplified documentation within the tool that requires use of a separate portal."

"In future releases, I would like to see easier integration with other solutions, like facial recognition and KYC solutions with biometric onboarding."

"I think the upgrade process is sometimes a little complicated and there are failures that occur."

"The solution could improve by adding more advertising and marketing."

"We would like this solution to be developed for use with mobile applications."

"ForgeRock is an open source solution and is available to everyone but it is not freeware. If you need support, you need a subscription for ForgeRock. Many of its functionalities need to be built up with the help of a consultant."

More ForgeRock cons

"More integration with SAP and with the internet of things would be good. We also have system devices that we could manage as identities, so that would be a feature to add."

"Right now, they run an on-prem solution. Our preferred solution for cloud is Azure. So, we have yet to determine how we want to take this forward, because at this time, we are only using Graph APIs to do some Azure-related actions."

"One Identity could add more connectors for various services we integrate. We need to build and configure custom connectors for our clients with complicated environments and multiple data streams."

"They should offer more best practices and documentation for every functionality."

"With technical support, it is always an issue to get the right person. They do have good technical people in support, but it is sometimes not so easy to get them."

"The tool did not allow beyond a specific level of visibility; it provided visibility at the user level, not at the level of nested entitlements, resulting in an inaccurate depiction from the asset manager's point of view."

"The web portal can be a bit muggy at times. This is one of the key complaints from our customers."

"Their technical support's attitude is a bit strange. Quite often, we have to prove that there is a problem with the product rather than having them prove that there is not a problem with the product."

More One Identity Manager cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for Omada Identity is fair."

"While Omada Identity carries a premium price tag, it proves to be cost-effective."

"They are positioned at a good price point. They are lower than some of their competitors."

"My client deals directly with the Omada Identity team in terms of licensing. I never look at pricing, so I'm not aware of how much the solution costs, but it's worth the money. Often, when you begin to use Omada Identity and it takes a while to set up, it'll be irreversible, and you'd depend on and focus more on the functionality of the solution, rather than its price tag."

"Omada is expensive."

"The pricing is too high for SMBs."

"Omada Identity is competitively priced and delivers good value for our money."

"Being Dutch, I can only say that it is extremely expensive, but all software products are expensive. If you have 38,000 users, then even one dollar or one euro per person would amount to a significant amount of money. Because of the high number of users, anything gets expensive very fast here."

More Omada Identity pricing and cost advice

"It's a bit pricey and could be more competitive."

"Its licensing is on a yearly basis, but it also depends on the contract that you have with the vendor. They have multiple types of contracts. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees. If you need some of the features, you have to pay more."

"The license is purchased annually per user. However, you can negotiate if you are signing for a longer period of time. When comparing this solution to others on the market it is priced fair, it is not at the top of the price range or at the bottom end."

"ForgeRock's pricing is more competitive than other products."

"We have multiple clients we are looking at right now. We are at a very small number, however, the idea and the goal is to grow. We are looking at about $100,000 and $50,000 a minimum a month cost. That'd be minimum maybe in a couple of years."

"Its price is comparable to other products in the market."

"ForgeRock is an expensive solution."

"The pricing of the solution is fair but I do not have the full details."

"From a cost perspective, One Identity has the biggest bang for the buck."

"You get a lot of bang for your buck with One Identity. It has many features that are included in the standard IGA license. Most people who are considering buying One Identity don't understand how much power is behind it in engines."

"There is a one-time licensing cost, and there is also a yearly subscription fee."

"I am aware of the cost. For us, it is quite cost-efficient. We have a good enterprise license agreement, and we are very happy with what we get for the price we pay for it."

"One Identity Manager is priced in the middle range but offers good value due to lower implementation time compared to competitors. Total cost of ownership is crucial where the main expense is in implementation, not licensing."

"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."

"It's costlier that some other products, and there is nothing that fits every solution."

"Prices in Turkey are high due to inflation, a challenge we've heard about from our customers."

Reviews from Real Users

ForgeRock stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its robust identity and access tools and its being easy to manage and scale with one central dashboard.

PeerSpot users note the effectiveness of these features. A technology solutions leader at an outsourcing company writes, “We need it for multiple clients, multiple implementations. Not all of them are necessarily a multi-tenant solution. We need a very versatile solution that can do a lot of work, but from a single instance that we can centralize authentications and we don't duplicate the efforts and that's where ForgeRock seems to do better.”

Mohamed B., a cyber security consultant at a tech company, writes, "Their access management solution, OpenAM, is most valuable because it meets the needs of a lot of users. ForgeRock secured our system so that it is accessed only by authorized people, and it implemented the SSO."
